"My hair is past my waist, so I have the same problem. A bun is so big that the hoop catches it when I duck out, and a braid is thick and in the way for neck hooping (plus it's so long my hand grabs it instead of the hoop for float ups). This is…"

Hello there!I recently purchased a collapsable hoop which breaks down in to four parts with a bungy cord holding it all together. However, I find that the four pieces are not lined up properly and as…

My hair is really long and i've been trying to master the shoulder to shoulder move but my poney tail or bun keeps getting in the way or getting caught on the hoop!

I chopped off my long hair around christmas of last year and am in the process of letting it grow back out. it's barely past my shoulders! Will definitely be keeping this in mind for the future!"
Riina Liis replied to the discussion 'What do you do with long hair when hooping?'"That is tough. One of my favorite hoop dance videos is by Lisa Lottie (on youtube) and she has dreads. I don't know how she hoops with them but maybe taking a look could give you some pointers?"
Karlen Lee replied to the discussion 'What do you do with long hair when hooping?'"This is the bane of my hooping existence, I swear!! I have long dreads that come halfway down my back and when doing duckouts or shoulder to shoulder or vertical duckouts....the longest dreads will literally wrap around the hoop like a spiral of…"
Riina Liis replied to the discussion 'What do you do with long hair when hooping?'":-) Right on. I want to get better at braiding too and experiment a bit more with it. You could potentially wrap braids around your head hairband style, fishtail, etc. and there's the potential to add flowers, beads, and ribbons interwoven for…"
Riina Liis replied to the discussion 'What do you do with long hair when hooping?'"I have very long and medium thick hair and it is frequently a problem. The best hair-do for me to keep it out of the way (and very pretty too!) is a french braid all the way to the end, then I roll the end of the braid fruit roll-up style into a bun…"
Alice Robins replied to the discussion 'What do you do with long hair when hooping?'"-gasp- this could actually work for my hair!Thanks for posting!I was beginning to feel as though my hair getting in the way would actually convince me to cut it.. but this will get it fully out of the way for the times I really want it out…"
Alice Robins replied to the discussion 'What do you do with long hair when hooping?'"I find a ponytail to not work so well, and a braid makes neck hooping harder.. I have thick hair that comes down to just below my bum.. "

Joan Warburton replied to the discussion 'Collapsable Hoop Question: IS it not tight enough?'"I've made a couple with 1/2" tubing and they gap a little when I open them so I just push that 1/4 " back together. It's fine. Lots of people use 3/4" infinity folding hoops and they're fine. It doesn't seem to be…"
StudentTerri Wyllie replied to the discussion 'Collapsable Hoop Question: IS it not tight enough?'
"Yes, that was what I was wondering about. So the connectors are not a special kind or anything? And how does the hoop stay together then through vigorous hooping without any rivet or pop button? I've been agonizing over making…"
Joan Warburton replied to the discussion 'Collapsable Hoop Question: IS it not tight enough?'"I've never seen pop-riveting on an infinity hoop. They're made by putting in two connectors opposite each other. The tubing has to rotate on the connector so it can't be riveted in place, unless I'm misunderstanding what…"
StudentTerri Wyllie replied to the discussion 'Collapsable Hoop Question: IS it not tight enough?'
"I am very interested in the infinity style. I have been taking a stab at collapsibles with bungee lately and having limited success. I think that the bungee is going to become loose, and this is going to cause all kinds of repair work…"
HoopStatic ~ Chloe replied to the discussion 'Collapsable Hoop Question: IS it not tight enough?'"I know this probably won't help much with your bungee cord problem, but I've had lots of luck with infinity style collapsible hoops. I've made tons of them and have one that I take everywhere with me as my everyday and travel hoop and…"
ModMartika* of MartikasMysticDesign replied to the discussion 'Collapsable Hoop Question: IS it not tight enough?'
"I've made a lot of different collapsible hoops but I've never made a bungy cord hoop. The reason is that the cord will loose it's tightness overtime making the cord loose. So as you hoop at a high speed the section can come apart…"
